No wonder so many Catholic young people are so confused about right and wrong. Fordham as most Jesuit colleges teaches that Catholic doctrine is wrong and harmful. How sad!

Defend Catholic doctrine? I’d be satisfied to know there are Jesuits who actually believe in Catholic doctrine, much less be willing to defend it.

[bmwcyle]

Their education has been liberal for years.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Jesuits are Catholic?

Who knew?

[concerned about politics]

Apostates.

Why won’t Jesuits defend Catholic doctrine?

Because they are Jesuits, not Catholics. The Church has been stretched to the breaking point. The only way to remain true to its’ doctrine is to start excommunicating thousands, including a lot of Jesuits.

But that would slow the money train, and there is already trouble there.

Just like world govts, giant institutions like the Church are doomed until they burn down and rise again from the ashes.

Jesuits have always been rather...pragmatic about allowing heterodox beliefs and practices as long as it resulted in conversion.

The Chinese Rites controversy was all about the Dominicans demanding that Chinese converts practice the same Mass as Europe, and the Jesuits allowed for traditional practices like ancestor worship. That was centuries ago.

Marxism and Postmodern philosophy is a lot more dangerous to accommodate these days.

I was planning to attend Notre Dame but they invited to campus ...and bestowed a high honor on...an infamous advocate of killing babies...

Isn’t that like asking why Catholics won’t defend Jesuit doctrine?

[STJPII]

The Church should have disciplined them 50 years ago. I told all my children at an early age: No Jesuit school ever.

[Venturer]

It isn’t only young Catholics who are confused, a lot of us older ones are having problems too.

The Bishops hiding pedophile faggots, Nuns wanting to be Preists and are pro-abortion, Lesbians in the fold, Bishops pushing Obamacare and then getting bitten by it. Bishops letting false Catholic politicians do anything they like.Few people go to confession any more and many we see Easter and Christmas.Bishops shoving illegals down our throats.

It is confusing, and it’s hurting the Church.

[GreatOne]

Good question. 4 years at a Jesuit University, chosen because it was supposedly a Catholic College, did more to harm my faith than grow it. I always say that my faith survived 4 years of Catholic education. Very sad.

Why won’t Jesuits defend Catholic doctrine? Because they are atheists, Marxists, and homosexuals.

[rcofdayton]

Answer, Jesuits are not Catholic, they are pagan.

Many years ago, the Jesuits wedded themselves to the idea that being educated was the most important thing, and they wanted to be connected to the literati. In order to do that, they had to jettison any notions that would not comport with the 'morality' of that group. That's one reason why the Jesuits have seemed to split with the Church on most, if not all, of her teachings on sexuality. So they're squishy, at best, or downright hostile at worst to the Church's teaching on abortion, fornication, and homosexuality.

Jesuits, like their 'educated' friends believe that one should be able to do whatever one likes, as long as it feels OK. The Jesuits push the notion of 'conscience as King', and teach that as long as YOU feel good about something, it's not sinful, no matter what the Church teaches. It's the perfect 'moral system' for the self-obsessed.

they are smarter than the bible or the pope...or so they think
